Introducing #740Lars, my sleeper V8 wagon.

Over a year in the making: say hello to #740Lars, a 1990 Volvo 740 Turbo wagon.

This may be the single nuttiest car I'll ever own, and probably one of the biggest mistakes I've made (so far). Why nutty? Well, this 7-seat, Swedish-made grocery-getter has a 302 V8 motor from an '89 Ford Mustang, in a 5-speed manual transmission.

Star of the Show: Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor.

This is probably the first time I've seen a car cosplaying from a video game.

When I graduated from university in 2011, GTA V was just announced. As a fan of sandbox video games with lots of driving element, I was actually most pumped to be able to drive around in a police car instead of shooting up the place like normal GTA players want. Yes I am weird, I know.

Turns out someone took that idea and turned it into reality.
